Getting Started

Step 1: Assembling the Speakers

(BDV-IT1000 only)

You can set speakers in two ways using stands: if you would like to place them on a floor, use speaker stands (page 23) and if on a desk, shelf, etc., use desktop stands (page 31). Before connecting the speakers, assemble the speakers.

Caution on using the speakers

Getting Started

• When moving the speakers, keep one hand under the desktop stand and hold both sides of the speaker.

When you use speaker stands with the speakers, hold the pole and the base.

• The following actions may damage the speaker.

Toppling the speaker.

Speaker assembly

Use the parts as follows:

• Front speakers (2)

• Surround speakers (2)

• Center speaker (1)

• Speaker cords (5, white/red/blue/gray/green)

• Baffle covers (short 3, long 2)

•Grilles (5)

Shaking the speaker.

Swinging the speaker.

Pushing on the speaker.

Hitting the speaker.

Use the following if you use speaker stands:

• Floor bases (4)

• Poles (4)

• Long screws (8, black)

Use the following if you use desktop stands:

• Desktop stands (4)

* Desktop stands are screwed on the floor bases. When using desktop stands, unscrew and detach them.

Although the front part of the front speaker is slightly different from that of the surround speaker, the assembly method is the same.

About how to connect the speaker cords, see page 54.

Note

• Spread a cloth on the floor to avoid damaging the floor when you assemble the speakers.

• When assembling, take care not to touch the speaker units.

Ex. Front speaker

Speaker unit

• You can install the front, center, and surround speakers on a wall by using the wall mounting bracket (supplied) (page 42). In this case, you need to attach neither the speaker stand nor desktop stand to the speaker.

How to identify the speakers

Check the label on the speaker.

• Front left speaker (L): FRONT L (white)

• Front right speaker (R): FRONT R (red)

• Surround left speaker (L): SUR L (blue)

• Surround right speaker (R): SUR R (gray)

• Center speaker: CENTER (green)

Getting Started

Assembling the center speaker

1 Remove the cover from the speaker.

Pry up the cover by inserting a thin, flat object into the slit in the cover. To replace the cover, see Step 3. The removed cover is used in a later step, so be careful not to lose it.

Getting Started
